Mother Teresa Quotes

We can do no great things-only small things with great love.

I just take one day. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not come. We have only today to love Jesus.

If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

It is not what we do it is how much love we put in the doing.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.

It is our emptiness and lowliness that God needs and not our plenitude. These are a few of the ways we can practice humility:Speak as little as possible of oneself.Mind one's own business.Avoid curiosity.Do not want to manage other people's affairs.Accept contradiction and correction cheerfully.Pass over the mistakes of others.Accept blame when innocent.Yield to the will of others.Accept insults and injuries.Accept being slighted, forgotten, and disliked.Be kind and gentle even under provocation.Do not seek to be specially loved and admired.Never stand on one's dignity.Yield in discussion even when one is right.Choose always the hardest.

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.
